With all the events, after-shows, parties, and spontaneous outdoor dance parties surrounding ACL weekend, you’d be forgiven for overlooking some of the festival’s incredible (official or not) ancillary events. This is not one of those events to overlook. If you only make it to one show outside of the festival this year, Rare Magazine and WOXY, Austin’s newest internet radio station (which is already endearing itself quite nicely to our community), have made a strong case for this being the one to hit. Of course, we’re referring to the rechristening of the decommissioned Seaholm Power Plant as a live music venue, with none other than the ensemble cast of Toronto’s Broken Social Scene shattering the bottle of champagne on the art-deco columns (figuratively for sure, literally, maybe).

WOXY has announced their ACL afterparty taking place Friday, October 2 at the Seaholm Power Plant on Cesar Chavez. The recently transplanted internet radio station will present Broken Social Scene to the 300-capacity venue at 10 pm, free. More details on tickets and Saturday night's lineup coming later in the week.

WOXY celebrated their arrival in Austin from Ohio Sunday night at the Scoot Inn. TV Torso, Black Before Red, Martin Crane and English Teeth performed. Chad Wadsworth was there to capture the mood. WOXY began broadcasting live from Austin this morning, check it out at their web site.

The Deli is sharing a new video for "Hometown Fantasy" from local minimalist darlings the Wooden Birds.

Located just east of I-35 on 4th St., the getaway from Red River St. that is Scoot Inn hosts three inviting nights of music this weekend. On Friday, when the wind blows in The Low Lows’ doleful lo-fi beauty, ponder upon Brothers and Sisters’ affecting Americana, tango with Mr. Lewis & The Funeral 5’s experiments in punk ‘n’ polka, and order your whiskey neat to The Sideshow Tragedy’s country fried rock. Return and recover on Saturday with a substantial serving of Black Panda’s garage ditties, sample and savor Kingdom of Suicide Lovers’ dark concoctions, dip into Manikin’s absorbing rhythms, and save room for some guest acts (and Sunday’s show) as well.

WOXY will celebrate their move to Austin Sept. 6 at Scoot Inn. Black Before Red, TV Torso, English Teeth and Martin Crane will perform.

WOXY, the popular internet radio station currently based in Ohio, will be setting up shop in Austin in September. WOXY started using its current alternative/modern rock format in 1983, began an internet stream in 1998, and went internet-only in 2004. The current DJs are making the move to our town, with Austinist's own Paige Maguire joining the staff as Director of Marketing and Development. The station will be operating out of the Austin Theater building on South Congress; the plan is to have HD video of their Lounge Act sessions up by the first of October. [woxy.com: Austin FAQ]
